Transformation or Death - Transformation or Death chapter 275
275 – Life and Death (4)
Not long before Amundsen betrayed Jason.
Watcher was also in a similar situation as others.
“It’s really difficult to say hello.”
Close to hundreds of ships filled the sky above, below, left and right. All those ships were targeting the Watcher. Aimed cannons, numerous archers, marksmen and javelin throwers. Ugly eyes mixed with murderous intent.
The hostility felt by someone who jumps into enemy territory alone.
Those on the ship united with one mind and one will to defeat the enemy who was interfering with their dreams.
pop-! An explosion was heard from behind. It meant that a cannonball was fired. Even though I wasn’t close yet, I could feel the immense heat. It had to be the same cannon that had caused the big wound in the scorpion’s chest.
[And fireworks.]
pop-! pop–! pop—! The sound of cannons continued as if singing a song. It was so loud that even Spica’s fuss was drowned out by the loud drinking.
The power of the cannon is enough to easily sweep away this ship and its surroundings. That range includes not only the Watcher, but also other companions and the captain.
‘You’re saying it doesn’t matter because there’s regeneration.’
An exciting tactic that requires only defeating the enemy without any consideration for allies. Since everyone had the ability to regenerate, that judgment was valid.
Kwakwang!! Hundreds of cannonballs hit the ship where the Watcher was standing. The explosion, which was initially enough to destroy the ship in half, became even more massive as other shells arrived one after another and exploded, as if in a chain reaction.
Before we knew it, the explosion reached from the sky to the sea, and even other nearby ships were torn apart by the fire. By the time the sea had evaporated slightly and about a dozen ships near the captain’s ship had disappeared without a trace.
The explosion is over.
A huge amount of black smoke rose as if a volcano had erupted. The black smoke even covered the clouds and they replaced the clouds, so it looked like a sky covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain at any moment.
“Did you get rid of it?”
“Who is that idiot?”
Someone among the crew recited a resurrection spell. As if responding to that earnest heart, many people came back to life.
The captain’s ship was also one of those resurrected. In the center of the smoke, a sailing ship appeared again in the sky.
Amundsen muttered as he put his foot on it.
“Oh, it looks like I couldn’t finish it.”
Wow! Immediately after muttering that, Amundsen flew straight backwards like a cannonball. As I slowly thought about what was going on, I noticed that the armor around the bridge of my nose was all broken and tattered. Phew! He belatedly saw blood splashing down his face. I felt intense pain along with bleeding.
An attack that goes beyond recognition. Amundsen realized that he had hit the Watcher’s feet.
“Son of a b*tch….”
Amundsen took out his knife and threw it on the floor. Gagagagak! The knife gradually slowed down as it cut the board. In the end, Amundsen succeeded in stopping his flight.
Amundsen stood up using his sword as a walking stick, grabbed the handle of the sword, and twirled it. Then, what had been in the shape of a sword until just now became an arrow. Amundsen already had a bow in his left hand.
The arrow was hung on the string and pulled. His eyes, which can see the world more and more broadly than others, found the location of the Watcher.
The Watcher was right above him. Amundsen raised his bow and fired an arrow.
Just before the arrow pierced the Watcher’s neck, the Watcher caught the arrow. Then he shot the arrow at Amundsen like a spear.
Amundsen saw the arrow’s trajectory. His eyes could clearly read the trajectory of every attack.
But just because you can see it doesn’t mean you can deal with it. Amundsen’s head and neck were pierced by the arrow.
“Is this the adventure you’re talking about? Yes, in a sense, death can also be said to be an adventure.”
Although he couldn’t speak, his ears were fine, so he could clearly hear his mocking voice.
“An adventure to overcome death. “That’s cool.”
shut up. Amundsen moved his lips and spoke without a voice.
“But your purpose was not only adventure, but also heroism, wasn’t it?”
The Watcher pulled out the arrow from Amundsen’s neck and swung it like a sword. After several slashes, Amundsen’s body fluttered like a fallen leaf.
The Watcher left the corpse of Amundsen behind and looked at Jason.
“All the excitement is ruined.”
The soft melody of a string instrument reached his ears. Orpheus, the monster of Lyra.
Han Jaejoong realized that this melody eliminated his hostility. It is different from brainwashing, which corrects thoughts and common sense.
This is emotional control.
“I controlled your anger. I can control my emotions!! Comrades, cheer up! “Have no doubt in our victory!”
A monster who was so excited by the song approached the Watcher with its mouth wide open. It was as fast as the wind.
His appearance was close to that of a wolf. However, unlike other wolves, he was as big as a bear and ran on two feet. He was a monster commonly called a werewolf.
The monster of Canis Major. Lilabs
Just before Lilabs’ teeth touched the Watcher’s shoulder, the Watcher swung its arm. Intense wind pressure occurred. The wind crushed Actaeon and made him explode.
His skin touched the Watcher’s arm. A wolf’s maw grew from the skin and bit into the Watcher’s shoulder.
Uddudduk!! This time, blood spurted from his shoulder along with a strong sound. His teeth reached all the way to the bone. Considerable grip strength.
Perhaps he too had received reinforcements as a member of the Argonauts.
“I’m going to turn.”
The Watcher shook off his arm and reduced the wolf to a pulp again.
This time, an arrow flew from behind. Not one, but many. It wasn’t shot by one person. There are several hunters.
The shape and trajectory of each arrow was different. After finishing regeneration in the air, Lilabs also created a bow in its hand and shot an arrow.
From noble mtl dot net
“How many hunters are there here?”
With a grumbling voice, he was the first to catch the arrow fired by Amundsen. He then threw it at the arrow fired by Actaeon. Then we went one step further. An arrow I didn’t know who it belonged to appeared before my eyes.
The moment I caught the arrow once again, my hands trembled and trembled.
‘What kind of power does this guy have….’
Strong. I was sure that it was no ordinary monster. My hands felt hot, as if they were all scorched. Perhaps because I hesitated for a moment due to its power, I missed his timing.
When I came to my senses, Amundsen’s arrow had already arrived. The arrow was radiating intensely like a flash of lightning. I’m going to explode. As soon as he was convinced, the arrow exploded.
Dozens of shells flew again.
It struck the Watcher and caused a series of explosions. The ship exploded again and everything around was torn to pieces by flames. The destruction shone brightly like another sun rising in the sky. The light disappeared and only smoke remained.
The smoke that came with the explosion cleared. The Watcher hasn’t fallen yet.
Then an arrow flew at him again. It was not Amundsen’s.
‘I can’t catch this.’
Watcher, convinced of that, turned to the side. An arrow passed between them. The wind pressure alone created scratches in the Watcher’s armor.
The Watcher turned his gaze to where the arrow came from. There was a monster there whose size was comparable to that of the old monster Hercules. He had a bow bigger than his huge body.
The monster whose eyes were hit grinned.
“It’s called Orion.”
“He is a very famous person.”
Each one of them is one of the strongest among the troublesome sailors. She’s close to Eunha level.
“ruler. Come on! “As a hunter comparable to a god, I will personally deal with you!”
“You later.”
The Watcher turned his head again. At the end of that gaze, I saw Amundsen.
phut! I kicked the air and flew towards him. He succeeded in reaching Amundsen in just a moment.
“Why the fuck are you targeting me?”
“It’s the easiest.”
The Watcher kicked up his feet with the inertia of running. Amundsen’s head rose into the sky.
“Also, you need to come to your senses.”
In the first place, targeting the sniper first is a basic strategy. The right thing to do is to deal with the annoying guy first.
While Amundsen was playing, the Watcher turned around with the intention of dealing with the others.
At that moment, Amundsen, who had already finished regenerating, swung his great sword. The Watcher was startled by the hot sensation he felt on his back.
‘Playback is too fast.’
This speed makes no sense.
“I’m fine!”
“There is nothing like that. You’re following someone else’s dream right now. Where did you put your dreams? “Is that what an adventurer and hero look like?”
Watcher laughed and denied Amundsen’s words.
“Ask again.”
The Watcher’s red eyes looked at Amundsen.
“Have you ever seen stars?”
Did you really see the star you thought you saw? Or is it just something that someone else saw with their own eyes and received orally?
Anything that is not seen directly is bound to be misunderstood. There is no perfect objectivity in the world. Everyone has everyone’s point of view.
That’s why it’s important to look at it directly. You must look at the world through your own eyes and decide how to live in that world.
The Watcher finished his judgment by looking at the world of Argo.
Orion’s arrow flew towards him once again. This time he was able to catch it. Orion was preparing his next shot, and Watcher also finished preparing his javelin. It was Watcher who moved first. The arrow he shot pierced Orion’s head.
Orion’s next step stopped. It should have been so.
He regenerated and fired an arrow as soon as his head was pierced. A huge arrow like a battering ram approached the Watcher. He can neither dodge nor catch. Watcher decided to intercept. He swung his fist and struck the pointed arrowhead.
The arrow shattered like glass. Orion could be seen between the pieces. I saw a drinking glass on top of his head.
Playback much faster than expected. The Watcher found a sailor with the same power as the starlight felt in the glass.
[excuse me! That b*tch!]
I saw a female monster wearing a witch’s hat and long robes.
A monster at a drinking party. Medea.
When our eyes met, I saw her smiling.
At the same time, a glass of alcohol was poured over the Watcher’s head. His movements slowed and his armor softened.
It was Medea’s magic.
Immediately after the spell was successful, numerous cannons were aimed at Han Jae-joong again. This time the number was small.
Instead, the quality was overwhelmingly high. From a single cannonball, an overwhelming starlight was felt like a tidal wave. Orion also took aim at the Watcher. Perhaps because of greater solidarity, Orion felt the power of a galaxy as vast as the sea.
The Watcher tried to use his powers, but the strange liquid flowing out of the glass made it impossible. It seemed to not only weaken her, but also hinder her abilities.
The disruption lasted only a short time, but it was enough to allow the enemy to prepare for the bombing raid.
A barrage of fire that was completely different from the one before came. He couldn’t be safe this time. Watcher let out a heavy breath amidst the explosion.
Immediately after the explosion, Jason was standing in front of the Watcher. His arms, hanging at the front of the boat with his arms crossed, were fine. Originally, those arms would have been frozen by the Hound. But there wasn’t even a piece of ice on his arm.
‘Ah, he died and was regenerated.’
It was clear that he had died on purpose during the first bombardment and had his body rebuilt. If you die in pieces and regenerate a new arm, you will be able to escape from the ice.
It’s a clever use of ability.
Jason uncrossed his arms and formed a spear in his right hand. It was a spear that looked like a flagpole used to tie a flag.
“One is all and all is one. “Our strength is achieved through solidarity.”
A surprising amount of light gathered inside that window. The sparkle obscured even the sun. It was impossible to count how much starlight had gathered.
“And as the captain, I can gather the strength of more comrades than anyone else.”
It is more overwhelming than any attack so far. Han Jaejoong felt it instinctively. He observed the window with interest.
“As captain, I will punish you.”
The spear was pointed at the Watcher. Han Jaejoong’s gaze was still focused on the window.
“Reflect and repent.”
A spear was thrown. A spear pierced exactly into the Watcher’s solar plexus. Han Jaejoong fell endlessly. The clouds were torn apart and even the air was split. Han Jaejoong couldn’t even breathe.
The sea stretched out beneath the sky. Behind Han Jae-joong, who was pierced by a spear, the sea split just before it reached the blue sea. To the extent that it failed to split, it evaporated.
An upward air current was created, creating clouds as large as the clouds that had been split by the window.
As the sea disappeared, the fall became even longer.
The sea split endlessly. To be exact, it split all the way. Soon the bottom of the sea is revealed. Han Jaejoong fell to the bottom of the sea.
“…Ugh.”
A large crater appeared as if a meteorite had fallen.
“Have you reflected?”
The boat arrived after Chang. The sea was still divided, and Jason was able to easily land on the bottom of the sea.
“You’ve seen our power, right? The goal of owning the world is not vain! Well, I showed you! What is it like? “Aren’t you a little attracted to me now?!”
Jason smiled innocently, like a child talking about a dream.
“I never thought you could withstand that attack… After all, you are strong! “That makes me even more greedy!”
Jason held out his hand kindly.
“Become our companion!”
That suggestion penetrated into the mind of Han Jaejoong, who was dazed from pain.
His energy, which had been boiling with hostility, disappeared. What emerged instead was friendliness and security.
“…As expected, I thought you would accept it.”
Jason nodded with satisfaction. Those eyes were full of confirmation. He had no doubt that he trusted Watcher as his comrade.
Han Jaejoong raised the corner of his mouth from under his helmet.
“Whoa….”
The Watcher pulled out the spear stuck in his stomach. Blood flowed like a waterfall from the wound.
“Now, wait a minute, you’re not used to playing yet….”
Behind Jason, who was embarrassed, the Watcher held a glass of alcohol in his right hand and poured it on the wound. A wine-like red liquid flowed instead of the blood, and the blood that had been flowing like a waterfall stopped.
Watcher stood up, shook his dizzy head and laughed.
“Ah, as expected.”
There was no feeling of familiarity or kinship with him like before. What I feel is clear hostility and composure.
“It seems that brainwashing can be resisted on its own.”
This concludes all investigations into the constellation Argo.
“It saves me the trouble of solving it all myself.”
The Watcher snapped his fingers. All of the Argonauts’ crew, except Jason, are so far away that they cannot hear this sound.
However, there are beings who cannot hear but can see.
It was Amundsen.
A question played in Amundsen’s head when he saw his signal. A question I just heard. A question I’ve heard in the past as well. Essential question.
-‘Have you ever seen stars?’
The question was repeated, and Amundsen gave an answer.
“You’re asking the fucking obvious.”
Amundsen took action without hesitation. An arrow left his hand.
Soon, Jason’s head was pierced by an arrow.
“…Why are you, comrade…?”
He muttered in disbelief.
“Why? “I’m not your comrade anymore.”
Argo constellation. A person with that constellation becomes a different personality than before. Its power is powerful but at the same time fatal. It is no different from some kind of curse.
No matter what dream you previously had, the moment you gain that power, you can only dream one dream.
That’s why Han Jaejoong once gave up using Argo constellation.
gave up the same power.
However, it did not give up similar powers.
His universe is different from the universe of this world. There are no two stars that are exactly the same. Only very similar stars exist. No two stars are the same.
A microcosm is another universe.
It’s no different from a parallel universe.
In other words, it was possible to create new possibilities that were different from the existing ones.
To do that, it was necessary to understand the original.
Han Jaejoong saw the characteristics of Argos countless times through this battle. He deliberately allowed the enemy to attack and created an opportunity to attack.
Blind, regenerative, solidarity, continuity, comrade, strong will.
I saw and understood all of its characteristics.
The moment you see it, you understand it, and once you understand it, you can reinterpret it.
In his universe, the constellation Argo blossomed anew.
[OBSERVATION.]
Observe.
[Argo Navis.]
Realizing the constellations.
[COLONIALIZATION.]
Refresh it with your own.
Now the Watcher can wield Argo’s power.
“Your colleague was awesome. Oh right. Now it will increase even more. Your colleagues will gradually turn their backs on you. Conversely, how does it feel to have your comrade taken away from you?”
“…Why?”
Jason asked, having regenerated his head.
“Why are you disturbing me? Why aren’t you with me?!”
It was a pure question. He seemed like a person with broken common sense.
“Doesn’t this world covet you?”
“world?”
The Watcher laughed at Jason.
“I already have the universe.”
Value is always relative.
“Why covet something so small?”
